Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on September
23, 2024 and effective September 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), Cohen & Company, LLC (the “Operating LLC”),
a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of Cohen & Company Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”),
issued to JKD Capital Partners I LTD (the “Investor”) a Senior Promissory Note (the “Original Note”) in the aggregate
principal amount of $5,145,926.67. The Investor is owned by Jack J. DiMaio, Jr., who is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors,
and his spouse.
Pursuant to the Original Note, half
of the principal amount was paid by the Operating LLC to the Investor on August 31, 2025, and the remaining half of the principal amount
and all accrued but unpaid interest under the Original Note was due and payable on August 31, 2026. As of August 31, 2026, the amount
of principal and interest payable by the Operating LLC to the Investor under the Original Note was $2,625,409.50 (the “Unpaid Original
Investment Amount”).
On August 31, 2026, (i) the Investor
paid to the Operating LLC $2,374,590.50 (the “Additional Note Amount”) as an additional principal amount to be added to the
Amended and Restated Note (as defined below), and (ii) the Operating LLC issued to the Investor that certain Amended and Restated Senior
Promissory Note (the “Amended and Restated Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (which amount represents
the Unpaid Original Investment Amount plus the Additional Note Amount). The Amended and Restated Note amended and restated the Original
Note in its entirety.
The principal amount and all accrued
but unpaid interest under the Amended and Restated Note is due and payable on August 31, 2027. The Amended and Restated Note accrues interest
on the unpaid principal amount from the August 31, 2026 until maturity at a rate equal to 10% per year. Interest on the Amended and Restated
Note is payable in cash quarterly on each November 30, February 28, May 31 and August 31, commencing on November 30, 2026. Under the Amended
and Restated Note, upon the occurrence or existence of any “Event of Default” thereunder, the outstanding principal amount
is (or in certain instances, at the option of the holder thereof, may be) immediately accelerated. Further, upon the occurrence of any
“Event of Default” under the Amended and Restated Note and for so long as such Event of Default continues, all principal,
interest and other amounts payable under the Amended and Restated Note will bear interest at a rate equal to 11% per year.
The Amended and Restated Note may not
be prepaid in whole or in part prior to January 31, 2027. The Amended and Restated Note may, with at least 31 days’ prior written
notice from the Operating LLC to the holder thereof, be prepaid in whole or in part at any time following January 31, 2027 without the
prior written consent of the holder and without penalty or premium.
The Amended and Restated Note and the
payment of all principal, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder are senior obligations of the Operating LLC and will be senior
to any Indebtedness (as defined in the Amended and Restated Note) of the Operating LLC outstanding as of and issued following September
1, 2024. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note, following August 31, 2026, the Operating LLC may not incur any Indebtedness that is
a senior obligation to the Amended and Restated Note.
The foregoing description of the Amended
and Restated Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated
Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
